You'll need to reduce your overall weight.

Is the waist area the only place you have the fat?

If that is where your body stores most of it's fat, you'll have a hard time
eliminating it altogether. By reducing overall bodyfat, that area too
should see improvements, but a human body tends to hang on to fat stores in
certain areas, and it loses fat from those areas last, if at all.

Reduce total body fat and some will come off from everywhere.
There's no reliable way to remove from a specific area except
liposuction.

Low carb diets sometimes claim they are better at reducing
belly fat than other plans. I'm a low carber and that did not
happen for me, so it wasn't true in my case. It couldn't hurt
to try low carb yourself and see if it helps for you.

Muscles can be toned by area. When I tried that with my
belly fat what I got was a nice hard round belly. Sigh. Stronger
muscles don't mean less fat.

Yes, currently I am looking healthy, don't look fat at all. But, my
waist has surely accumulated fat, more towards the back region.

That could possibly because you're a relatively high-fat low carber.
(Right?)

While experimenting with such a diet (being drawn in by the claims
that you allude to), I gained fat around the middle. Starting at a 26"
waist circumference with good abdominal definition (which I was hoping
to improve), I ended up at over 28" with much less defined abs. This
was over the course of about a year. What's worse, my training sucked,
resulting in a lousy 3:52 marathon compared to 3:19 the previous year.

It might be true that such eating plans are good at reducing extremely
obese people to something that is closer to average (i.e. still quite
fat). But obviously, someone who wants to lose all of the fat around
the midsection isn't shooting for average, right?

> It couldn't hurt to try low carb yourself and see if it helps for you.

Very low fat, low carb (but high enough to be able to do your exercise
properly and recover) and plenty of protein: 1 gram per pound of lean
body mass per day.

If you're already lean, it's diffult to lose body fat, while
exercising. Or should I say, while exercising in a progressive way
such that you're making gains. If you're dieting enough to shed even
more body fat, you will have a hard time developing parameters like
endurance, speed, muscle mass, etc.

To have a shot at nailing these different goals all at once, your
nutrition has to be optimized. Everything that goes into your mouth
has to fill a specific need. There can't be any discretionary
calories.

As we age many of us tend to become a little larger in the waist area
It's harder, but not impossible, to eliminate this area of fat. Exercise
will certainly help. I find intervals on the treadmill or bike have helped
me to lose the fat around the middle.

With proper diet and exercise you should be able to tackle this problem. I
have the same problem around the waist area and have seen good results with
exercise.

How much do you think I should exercise minimum daily?

30-60 minutes of raised heart rate, 4-6 days a week.

Are you serious?

No, I don't believe jumping in place is adequate exercise. Do you have
something against walking, jogging, hiking, cycling, etc?

Yes, I think I will be doing yoga as that does not need space to do
things..

Do you think that's a better option?

You want to lose fat? You have to burn more than you eat. To burn more
calories, you need to get your heart rate up. As far as I know, yoga is not
considered a cardiovascular form of exercise.

Have you done anything yet? Have you tried yoga or walking or weightlifting?
Have you tried reducing the amount of food you eat each day? I see
discussion of the concept, only. It is time for you to either use somebody's
advice or find a path of your own. Or not.

> Have you tried reducing the amount of food you eat each day?


This one works for me always. I cut calorie intake and bingo, the fat
is gone.

I will keep you all posted about my little experiences.. It did help..
I did complete 1 pushup today.

True!

Good start. I am thinking of buying some weightlifting equipment. I used to
lift regularly, but I fell out of the habbit several years ago.

I think a really good scale for you, for monitoring your weight, would be a
pair of pants you were wearing before you got married. Put them on once a
month and see how they fit. That is probably the best scale of all!

How is your marriage going? Is it everything you hoped it would be?

I've been really tempted to buy a scale to monitor my weight loss progress,
but I haven't. Since I'm probably going to start lifting weights again, I
think a scale will have less meaning then ever. To me, its all about the
size of the clothes I wear, how well they fit, etc. I am really looking
forward to not having such a big gut anymore. I haven't seen St. Peter in
quite some time! Its going to take a long time, though, to lose this weight.
Conservatively, I have fifty or sixty pounds to go. I have lost about 35
pounds so far, though, and that's a good start. Lets see... July is just
about here. Aug, Sept, Oct... by the end of the year I should have made it a
long way towards my weight loss goal.

Do you mean a machine to give your weight? That's called
a scale.

Do you mean a chart that gives heart rates during certain
types of exercise to determine your cardio fitness? One
level of fitness is to walk briskly on the flat for an hour. If
you can do that and wonder why it counts as exercise it
will be time to move on to the next level. Maybe jogging
for 5K would be the next level.

One scale is BMI. Body Mass Index. It is supposed to
work well to determine obesity, underweight and so on.
In practice it works poorly but at least it is easy.

Needles to say - you have to watch nutrition balance as well...

Ok.. I just kept wondering if there was actually some product devised
to measure health.. It does not seem impossible though....

Something that can meter

1. Breathing quality
2. Weight
3. Height
4. Strength

Just guessing

You should really consider buying one .. it will surely help to
measure the weight everyday... You will be always alarmed..

Yes, it's called a medical examination.

Don't confuse health and fitness.

It's possible to be healthy and unfit
or fit and unhealthy. Health in the
most basic sense is the absence of disease,
whereas fitness is performance oriented.

Treat the two (health and fitness) as
separate entities with separate gauging
criteria.

Ugh. I'm at the tail end of a divorce! Things don't always go the way you
hoped. May your marriage be blessed.

I bought one. I'm weighing myself every day and keeping a chart. Its been
less then a week, so I'm not too worried about the numbers on it. I seem to
be in the range of 256, so I'm down a little more then forty pounds.

I feel much better. I feel better about myself and have a lot more energy.

Yes, I know about that.. I am just thinking of a device that can be
used to measure something more that just weight.. I saw a weight scale
that also measured my height and gave me BMI readings... I just
thought if there where better scales then this one..

I am sure there will be..

I'm really happy with my pressure sensor scale and
bioelectric impedance bodyfat monitor. Height is
basically a constant. You can have someone help
you measure height. Then you plug that into a
formula for BMI or enter it into a device that
calculates BMI, bodyfat percentage, body water,
etc. I was skeptical of the consistency of digital
scales with built-in bioelectric impedance bodyfat
testing. With enough research I discovered and
bought separate units with which I'm completely
satisfied. Their consistency is excellent.
The scale is a Conair model WW-39 (Weight Watchers
branded), and the bodyfat/BMI device is an Omron
HBF-306. I'm not concerned with absolute accuracy
so much as being able to determine the trend of
small changes. I'm trying to lose fat and gain
muscle at the same time. To do that I need devices
with fine resolution (the ability to gauge small
changes) and excellent consistency (immediately
repeated measurements return the same readings)
more than absolute accuracy so long as I continue
to use the same instruments.

For basic BMI and health a knowledge of your height,
a decent scale, and a tape measure are good enough.
Height and weight determine BMI, and a tape measure
can be used for waist/hip ratio and basic bodyfat
(aka body composition) testing. The book "Protein
Power" has what I think is an excellent chapter on
determining body composition using age and weight
and bodypart circumference measurements.

I surely understand that.. I was just wondering about a device being
able to measure both...

This will surely be a wish list for the scientists to come up with a
compact device... that's able to measure that.. I have been seeing in
the discovery channel various instruments that has plucked a human
with censors all over the body and the man is made to run over a
thread mill.. but this is some what an instrument that surely measures
health and fitness both at the same time. i am talking about..

but just wondering about a compact version of the same that could sell
in the market.

I was given a link to a home body fat calculator that I think does a
pretty decent job.

http://www.healthcentral.com/cholest...-2774-143.html

And the reason I think so is that I just had my skin fold measurements
done, and the results from that and the results from the calculator
using girth measurements were very, very close! (.3% different)

I have a good, though older, Tanita BF scale... and it reads about 10%
higher than actual BF. Consistent as all get out though! And weight is
spot on.
